Transitional Kindergarten (TK) is part of the TK-6 public school system. TK classrooms use developmentally appropriate, play-based curriculum specifically for four-year old students. All four-year old students are eligible for TK for the 2025-2026 school year if the child turns 4 years old on or before September 1st. The Sulphur Springs Union School District offers a full-day TK program for their students.

School Bus Transportation Applications for the
2025-2026 School Year
The Transportation Department will do their best to accommodate students riding the bus that wish to ride. However, please know that turning in your application does not guarantee your child a seat on a bus. Students who are not placed on routes will be placed on a waitlist. Students will be added to bus routes based on eligibility and space.
In order for students to ride the school bus at the start of the school year, bus applications MUST be submitted no later than July 25, 2025. Applications are available online, located on the District website. If a parent needs a printed application, please go to the school office and/or the District Office located at 27000 Weyerhaeuser Way. It is important to remember that any child that is riding a school bus, must have an application on file prior to boarding.

Important to remember: All applications must be submitted to the Sulphur Springs Union School District Transportation Department before July 25, 2025. Applications received after July 25th will be placed on a waitlist and transportation cannot be guaranteed at the start of the school year.
The District’s Transportation Safety Plan can be found on the District’s website. Buses will have active video monitoring enabled. The use of video monitoring will support the safety of students and drivers, prevent vandalism, and may be used to monitor student behavior.
Bus Pass Operating Procedures
For everyone's safety, our bus riders must display their assigned bus pass when riding the bus.
Students are expected to have their bus passes with them daily and scan it each time they get on and off the bus. Students need to remember to not fold the card or punch holes in it to avoid damaging the encryption in the card. If the plastic pouch or the lanyard that holds the card wears out or is damaged, the student can ask their bus driver for a new one.
All bus passes will be returned on the last day of school to their bus driver.
For specific information on bus schedules and bus routes, please contact the Transportation Office at (661) 252-3822.
We are so grateful for your continued support and involvement. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns. Together, we can ensure a successful and enriching experience for your child.
Wishing you and your family a wonderful weekend. Thank you.
